hahaha. the song was great with it. loved it. god i can't wait for this game. i saw a special demo (not sure if i should say where so i wont) but even tho it was being run on a crappy lil laptop, it still looked amazing. OMG i can't wait for this game!

[SheepFactory]

lol. I expected to see a jet engine fall out of the sky any minute :D

This game looks great , i hope the gameplay is fun too , so far the videos I have seen looked very repetitive action wise but I am not going to pass any judgement until I play.

[Solothores]

worth to watch as well (10minutes of gameplay) (http://www.xboxyde.com/stream_3260_en.html)

http://www.aeropause.com/archives/2006/10/emergence_day_d.php A couple more days huh... Darn you :D. You should be forced to wait just like me. :( Is there a crying emoticon I can use?

It seems that MS isn't letting up on the MTV thing. Well the last Gears of War special was leagues better than the cheesy MTV unveiling. Hopefully they do a good job with the next one.

first video was very cool, but the movie of the actual gameplay was very dissapointing. I really dont like the way it resembles Time Chrisis 3 (if anyone has ever played it). It just seemed extremely linear, especially becuase you can't move and aim. It seems like they really missed the boat on the gameplay...good thing the graphics look good.

[Dr. Nick]

The point of the game play is to keep you from playing Run and Gun through the game. You need to take cover in order to survive. It's cool though not everyone will like this type of gameplay. The thing to look forward to is that once Gears Of War is released UE3 games from third parties should start showing up regularly.

well yea, but i sorta saw him get shot a LOT so it cant be rainbow six-type realism. Also, i think you could probably help yourself out by shooting while moving :D
I dunno, i just dont like the way the game deals with taking cover...I'd rather be in first person or at least be able to control my own crouching and not just sort of snap to a position of cover.

But you're definitly right about new UE3 engine games, that should make things very interesting in the near future.

i'm a contract worker, so i don't get anything free or early. but the one guy is going to be out of town and he said if his copy shows up early, i can borrow it :thumbsup:!

GOW is 360-only..

[daart]

According to M$ Swizzerland it will be released Q07 on PC.

[lildragon]

Nice trailer, the song fits well. I'm getting all teary eyed here *sniff*

[Qslugs]

Whats up with the gameplay framrate in that longer video.

[Dr. Nick]

According to M$ Swizzerland it will be released Q07 on PC.It probably will but I would trust Redmond more on this issue since they are the ones running the whole Xbox/Games for Windows(GOW ip is owned my MS) show. By that time Halo 3 will be released for the 360 so losing this console exclusive on the system shouldn't be that big of a problem. If the drive for Games for Windows is as big as Microsoft makes it out to be having the game on PC late 2007 could happen. Then again if this franchise ends up being as big as Halo in titles sold, which I doubt not because of gameplay but because tone, the wait might be like the one for Halo 1 and now Halo 2 on the PC.

Edit: If it is coming out next year for the PC Epic probably won't be the ones doing the port. Epic needs to focus on getting UT2007 out for the PC and then for the PS3. Devoting as a lot of attention to the PS3 could get more PS3 devs to use their engine just like devs on the 360 so they will work on getting that out before they consider working on a port of GOW but another studio could probably handle it.

Last Edit: Microsoft has Crysis, Alan Wake and Shadow Run to push Games for Windows. Gear of War might make a nice addition but it probably isn't needed.

This trailer is fantastic! The music is totally unexpected, but works out very well. I can't wait until the 7th. I'll be lined up at midnight to get my copy for sure!

Here is another link if you want to download a high res version from Gamespy.

I didn't like the music at all, I like the music on its own, just not with the game. As per the game itself this really would be the only reason I would get an xb360. However I am not going to get it anyways, perhaps when the price is reduced in 3 years when the nextbox comes out (patent!) :D

[Yourworstnightmare]

Didn't like the song, but the game looks amazing, I actually wouldn't mind the camera angles, sorta like cold fear, if the game was like that, it gives the game a more atmospheric look, a bit like DMC too.
